192. Om sukha-pradayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the giver of happiness
Amma isn't just the destroyer of sorrow. She replaces it with ample amounts of happiness. It's like we're guests at a banquet that Amma is hosting. Maybe this is what life is really all about: We're guests and Amma is the host of this party called life! She ensures we have to our hearts fill. She also ensures we know the rules of the party. Like the perfect host, Amma gives us everything we need. She fills us with happiness. And if we walk the right spiritual path, there's a return gift too: no rebirth. Perfect Karma.
I read this story and was so moved. That this has happened in some part of our world. That someone has had the injustice of being poor and thus faced hurdles in treating his child. That someone was fortunate enough to feel Amma's grace. Sometimes I love browsing through the picture gallery at Amma's many websites. Each of them tells one story: Amma's grace blowing like the wind through the crowds making each child of Hers, a happy one. Any randomly picked picture will always show such happiness on everyone's face. Even someone who's crying, is crying out of a sense of relief, because they have finally arrived where they have been meaning to reach. A big lesson there too is that happiness needs to be shared. We need to spread it. Each time it's shared, it doubles till the world is enveloped by it.
Sometimes Amma puts us in situations where She asks of us for introspection. Look within, She whispers to us. For the answers are always all there. After all, Amma does reside in our hearts. And if we stay true to our faith and we quiten down and listen, from this incredible vantage point, She paints the most miraculous pictures for our lives. And sprinkles it with generous amounts of joy and happiness.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
